News Masters of the Universe He-Man Has the Power and He’s Not Afraid to Use It in New Masters of the Universe Trailer He gets knocked down, but he gets up again By Molly Templeton | Published on March 31, 2026 Image: Amazon MGM Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Amazon MGM Studios The new Masters of the Universe film remains mystifying on several levels. Why cast Jared Leto in your movie if he’s going to be all CGI and his voice is unrecognizable? (Why cast Jared Leto at all, full stop?) Why does that one ship look like it escaped from a Transformers film? Why does Camilla Mendes, so brazen on Riverdale, constantly just fade into the background as Teela? Why does this trailer seem at least as interested in Man-at-Arms as it is in He-Man? I guess the answer to that last one is “Because he’s played by Idris Elba,” who is almost inarguably the most famous person visible in said trailer. (As previously noted, Jared Leto is not actually visible.) Masters of the Universe is clearly trying to coast on its brand recognition. The Sheep Detectives star Nicholas Galitzine plays poor lost Prince Adam, who has been sent to the mundane world for an unspecified period of time. He’s had it up to here with everyone thinking he’s crazy, so he goes to get his special sword and go home to Eternia, where things are not going at all well. Galitzine is clearly game to play a ripped guy in very small clothing, and I applaud his commitment to the bit. If nothing else, you can say that yes, he looks like He-Man, action-figure-turned-cartoon. Everyone looks just fine; the movie just appears to be a muddle of CGI and very funny outfits for accuracy. The film also stars Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Fisto, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress. It is directed by Travis Knight, son of Nike founder Phil Knight, and five men are credited with the screenplay and/or story: Chris Butler, Adam Nee, Dave Callaham, Alex Litvak, and Michael Finch. Does it have THE POWAH? You can find out when Masters of the Universe arrives in theaters June 5th.[end-mark] The post He-Man Has the Power and He’s Not Afraid to Use It in New <i>Masters of the Universe</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.
